Abstract
Present
study investigated the prevalence and hemato-biochemical
changes observed in the mange infested Surti
buffaloes and buffalo calves. For prevalence study
a total of 401 animals were screened for the
infection for a period of one year. Systematic and
detailed appraisal of haemato-biochemical profiles
as well as skin scrapping specimens were carried
out in seventy five cases. Hematological analyses
of blood samples were done to evaluate changes in
Hb, PCV, TEC, TLC and DLC counts. Biochemical
analyses of serum samples were done to determine
the concentrations of total protein, albumin,
globulin, A:G ratio and serum zinc levels by
Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS).
Infestation was found to be high in winter season.
Infestation caused anaemia, increased TLC with
eosinophilia. There was decrease in total protein
as well as zinc concentration in serum in infested
buffaloes.
Keywords: Dermatology, Parasite,
Disorder, Haematological changes, Biochemical
changes.
